The good news is that a simple property activation causes this to kick in, so 
before pushing the patch, we can decide what does and doesn't get this feature 
as default behavior.  Furthermore, we can create a file precision-spacing.ly 
that sets tons of grobs to the more time-costly alternative for those who want 
to put their finished score in a final pass through the vertical-skyline 
functions.

Now, though, it's important to develop the with everything at maximum 
complexity to see what type of toll it takes and get as many bugs out as 
possible.  I still think there's a lot of room for speed up - as I said in my 
previous e-mail, I just need help with some profiling.

Cheers,
MS
